18 Chapter 1 About the SG20B Cordless Scanner Connect the SG20B Connect as a System Direct Connection The SG20B cordless scanner can be connected to a host either via a SG20 Base Station or via the host Bluetooth interface (for example an external Bluetooth USB adapter or an internal Bluetooth controller). In the first case, the "SG20B Scanner + SG20 Base Station" unit works as a single system (it is called "system" throughout this document). The base station acts as an interface between the scanner and the host. A system can work only if the scanner is connected to the base station via Bluetooth and if the base station is properly powered and connected to the host using the appropriate interface cables (USB, RS-232 or Keyboard wedge Y-cable). The system can then be seen as a tethered scanner, except than you can walk freely holding your scanner in your hand. For more information on how to connect and configure a SG20B scanner as a system, see Connect the Scanner and Base Station as a System on page 27 and Configure the Scanner and Base Station as a System on page 39. A scanner is said to be connected to a host in direct connection when it is connected to the host via a Bluetooth interface such as an external Bluetooth USB adapter or an internal Bluetooth controller. For more information on how to connect and configure a SG20B scanner in direct connection, see Connecting the SG20B Scanner in Direct Connection to a Host on page 51. Advantages of a Connection as a System The advantages of using your scanner as a system as opposed to a direct connection are the following: No need to know the Bluetooth address of the device to which to connect the scanner and to create a Bluetooth association bar code, No need to fit the host PC with a Bluetooth interface, 6 SG20B Cordless Scanner + Bluetooth Base Station User s Guide

19 Scan Bar Codes Chapter 1 About the SG20B Cordless Scanner Several interfaces available: RS-232, USB VCP, USB HID, Keyboard Wedge, More reliable and faster data transfer. For the SG20BHP and SG20BHPHC do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser framing beam while scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser framing beam can damage your vision. The SG20B contains either a 1D linear imager (SG20B1D), a 2D imager (SG20B2D or SG20B2DHC) or high performance 2D imager (SG20BHP or SG20BHC) to scan bar code data. The type of scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. When you unpack the SG20B, these bar code symbologies are enabled: Code 39 Code 128 / GS1-128 EAN/UPC PDF417 (all models except SG20B1D) DataMatrix (all models except SG20B1D) If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your SG20B. Use EasySet version or later to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. Note: Be sure your SG20B scanner has established a Bluetooth connection with the SG20 Base Station (see Connect the SG20B Scanner to a SG20 Bluetooth Base Station on page 34) or with another Bluetooth device (see Connecting the SG20B Scanner in Direct Connection to a Host on page 51). If your scanner is not connected it will emit an error beep when scanning bar codes. SG20B Cordless Scanner + Bluetooth Base Station User s Guide 7

20 Chapter 1 About the SG20B Cordless Scanner To scan with a 1D imager 1 Turn on your scanner by pressing the trigger. 2 Connect your scanner to a SG20 Base Station or to another Bluetooth device. 3 Point the SG20B at the bar code and hold the SG20B at a slight angle 5 to 25 cm (2 to 10 in) from the label. 4 Pull the trigger, and direct the red beam so that it falls across all bars in the bar code label. Use this test bar code: Code 39 Test Bar Code *123456* *123456* Tip: Depending on your screen resolution, you can scan bar codes displayed on your computer screen. By default, when the SG20B successfully scans a bar code, the SG20B beeps one time, the status light turns green for 2 seconds, and the scanner beam turns off. 5 Release the trigger. ABCD Scanning Bar Codes: The aiming and scanner beams that you see depend on which SG20B model you are using. 8 SG20B Cordless Scanner + Bluetooth Base Station User s Guide

21 Chapter 1 About the SG20B Cordless Scanner To scan with a 2D imager 1 Turn on your scanner by pressing the trigger. 2 Connect your scanner to a SG20 Base Station or to another Bluetooth device. 3 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the SG20B steady a few inches from the label. 4 Pull the trigger and use the laser framing to position the imager over the bar code or area to capture Example: SG20THP Laser Framing By default, when the SG20B successfully scans a bar code, the SG20B beeps one time, the status light turns green for 2 seconds, and the scanner lighting turns off. 5 Release the trigger. Hands-Free Scanning Note: When bar code labels are printed close to each other, try to frame only the bar code you want to read, to avoid reading the wrong bar code. The SG20B is a handheld scanner however you can scan items without having to hold your scanner in your hand. To do hands-free scanning, you will need to change the triggering mode to Autostand. To activate, see Hands-Free Scanning on page 99. SG20B Cordless Scanner + Bluetooth Base Station User s Guide 9

22 Chapter 1 About the SG20B Cordless Scanner Autostand Triggering Mode Autostand mode is different depending on the scanner model. This section explains the difference between: Autostand for or all models except SG20B1D and Autostand for SG20B1D Autostand For All Models Except SG20B1D Autostand is a mix of Level and Presentation triggering modes. When the scanner is not in the Charge Base or Base station it is in Level mode (pull the trigger to scan a bar code). When you place the scanner in a Charge Base or Base Station it automatically switches to Presentation mode. In this mode the scanner turns on automatically when it detects movement in front of the scanner window. This allows you to use your scanner for hands-free scanning. To return to Level mode (handheld scanning) take the scanner out the of the base. Autostand For SG20B1D When using the 1D model Autostand is a mix of Level and Flashing triggering modes (1D model does not support Presentation mode). When the scanner is not in the Charge Base or Base station it is in Level mode (pull the trigger to scan a bar code). When you place the scanner in a Charge Base or Base Station it automatically switches to Flashing mode. In this mode the scanner is flashing. This allows you to use your scanner for hands-free scanning. To return to Level mode (handheld scanning) take the scanner out the of the base. Note: Autostand mode is not available when using the Desktop Adjustable stand or the Flexible stand because it does not provide automatic detection of the scanner. If you are using this stand with the SG20B you must also enable the Ignore Stand Detect setting using EasySet version or later. In this case the scanner switches to Presentation/Flashing mode after a configurable timeout and is not dependent on the stand. 10 SG20B Cordless Scanner + Bluetooth Base Station User s Guide
